Hearing set for bill that would OK selling raw milk in Wisconsin

Selling raw milk in Wisconsin would be legalized under a bill up for a hearing Wednesday in Eau Claire.

The measure would allow dairy farmers to sell raw milk directly to customers if certain conditions are met. The farmer would have to have a state-issued permit and post a warning that raw milk does not provide the protection of pasteurization.

Raw dairy proponents say unpasteurized milk is tastier, healthier and easier to digest.

Federal and state health officials say uncooked animal products are inherently dangerous and can carry bacteria capable of causing illness and death.

Wisconsin law has required since 1957 that milk sold to consumers be pasteurized.

The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Chris Danou, D-Trempealeau.
